Did you know... for the last three years Shaftsbury Elementary School has collected over 200 pounds of aluminum!

The aluminum, in the form of can tabs, is brought to The Ronald McDonald House. For every donated pound of aluminum, the Ronald McDonald House gets 50-75 cents, which benefits families who are staying at the Albany Medical Center.

Take the survey today!

We’re listening - we promise!

Have you taken the SVSU Community Survey yet? If not, there’s still time to share your thoughts.

As we review survey responses, we’ve noticed comments like, “I know nobody will ever read this,” or “I don’t think anyone will see this, but…”

We promise that every response is reviewed and every comment is read carefully. Your feedback matters, and it is helping to shape our planning and conversations for the future.
